Artist Reflection...

    The strongest technical aspect of my work is using the pen tool to outline all the stripes of the zebra then using the textured bush to make the stripes look more realistic.  Another strong technical aspect was painting the nose/ mouth and the eye to look life like.  By using the eye-drop to take the colors from the actual picture, then using the paint brush to paint over the areas where it corresponds to make it look realistic and life-like.  The technical aspect that could've used some work was the background.  Using the paint brush and trying to give it the effect that it was in the background and blurred, it could've been done better.
     The easiest part of this project was to outline all of the stripes of the zebra, and then paint them all in to make them look realistic and textured.  The most difficult part of this project was getting the correct colors to make the eye and nose have the correct values and look realistic like the picture.
     I demonstrated the objective of this project by using the textured brushes, pen tool, and eye dropper to make it look like a painting.  I found a picture of a zebra, that i then painted over using many layers and many paint brushes, and at the end of it, made it look like a painting.  If i could do this project again, i would chose a different picture, and i would try using different brushes and values.
